@rakeemandre: 🌳 HE FOUND ANOTHER FAMILY IN FLORIDA! | PART 2 of 3 My great-grandfather Benny Clardy left his children behind and never returned home. But decades later, my genealogy research led me to people in Bartow, Florida, who remembered him. One woman considered Benny a father figure, while her son knew him as a grandfather. They shared memories of a man who enjoyed gardening, played numbers, and eventually walked with crutches after losing part of his leg. These conversations revealed an entirely different chapter of Benny’s life, one his original family had never known. Sometimes the people who hold the answers to our family mysteries aren’t relatives at all. 🌳 Recovering our past, reconnecting our people. #Genealogy #FamilyHistory #BlackGenealogy #FamilyMystery #GenealogicalNuggets

Man that’s normal from back in the day. You could have 2 homes with a family and a mistress making $10 an hour

Unfortunately, he just probably wanted peace a lot of men still do that today. It’s just they do it in a bold eye and don’t care.

Unfortunately this happened a lot, same thing with my grandmother and her oldest three children. Her husband went to Nee York and left her and their children behind. In addition, her father left SC and moved to Florida and had another family there.
